If you haven’t been to a Friday Night, this is the year to make that trek to Golden Gate Park. It’s all happening at the de
Young: unique after-hours themed “happenings” from 5–8:45 pm include a mix of live music, DJ music, dance performances, film
screenings, panel discussions, lectures, artist demonstrations, special performances, hands-on art activities and exhibition
tours.

DJs A plus D/ Bootie will get keep the party going, spinning mash-ups
from the last four decades of Jean Paul Gaultier’s fascinating career, including hits by Madonna, Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue and
more. The pros in black will guide fashionistas, the sculpted models will wow visitors and lend inspiration, sailors will
escort the models on to the modeling platform and much more!

The captain, Mr. Jean Paul Gaultier himself!

In addition, the
de Young Café offers a delicious Friday Night menu with specialty cocktails, and
the observation tower is open until 8:15 pm. And don't miss the
Museum Store, which features gorgeious Jean Paul Gaultier
inspired items!
Artist Fellows,
Artists-in-Residence, curators, scholars and arts educators all play an active role in
making Friday Nights the place to be!

All public programs are
free! The museum does not close on Friday afternoons, so make a night of it—come early, get your special exhibition tickets
(yes, tickets are required for galleries!) and eat dinner first so you have enough time to enjoy all the sights and sounds of
art come to life!
